Through modern technology anyone with enough drive can do the same. This humble expression of my appreciation is accompanied with a promise to encourage support and share any discoveries that may help someone else do the same and grow from these experiences. I am extra grateful that you and others have allowed this post to exist in your worlds. I feel truly honored Shane O’Brien More good news re Our Music and Prospects We have 2 songs submissions into the 2011_2012 International Songwriters Competition [ISC].

So hopefully you can see this note from me to you is an expression of thanks, that’s it and nothing else. From your longstanding support given to my musical efforts, you are and always have been the best to me and will never ever be forgotten. Which is the basis for this email and post, therefor I share these links that I regard as accomplishments with you all with my gratitude. 1.

D Timms background: Los Angeles Times writer Bill Locey once referred to Danny Timms as “one of the (music) industry’s premiere sidemen.” Had Locey been a sportswriter instead of a music critic, he might as readily have designated Timms a music business MVP, for the multi-talented singer/songwriter/musician has proven himself to be an invaluable player to have on your team.

Story behind the song
The Setting: THE JUNGLE_A 33 ft sailboat converted into a recording studio. The location became known as the Jungle and in the end a total of 7 CDs were produced in this very unusual environment as far as the recording industry goes... Here is one such story to enjoy... -I recall sitting on an upside down 5 Gal Paint bucket for a seat, and in front of me stood a make shift microphone stand. There were 2 microphones duct taped at they're perfect heights for singing and guitar playing. A recall little extra tape was added for the vocal Mic, since I usually bumped into it so much during sessions. -I did not own any Mic holders yet at that early stage... Everything was borrowed or bartered for. -It was about 3 AM -It was real quiet and settled outside -the hatch door was pulled back all the way -The only sound were the longees working graveyard -the Halliard lines slamming on the mast on many of the surrounding sailboats -also sensed the cawing from a particular Blue Heron as he swooshed by the Jungle -my headphones were powered by an old Pioneer 175 watt receiver -I remember this particular song idea coming to mind and the weirdness of just letting it develop without any do-overs other than a lead guitar track to augment that initial rhythm guitar groove -Thank you to Kevin Whelan for loaning me his beloved Ovation Guitar. That following morning the resulting recording suddenly featured contrasting tones between a nylon stringed guitar and a steel stringed guitar which both equally shine simultaneously during that short little lead break before the final verse. -By sun up everything was all said and done and I noticed my ears were ringing big time, and you know, they still do today, every time I record... -Wouldn't cha know it huh... Life was as cool then as it is today, I tell ya! Just Like Regular...
